Samsung has confirmed that it has managed to sell more than 50 million units of Galaxy S and Galaxy S II colllectively, since it launched the former back in June 2010. The company’s phone-tablet hybrid, the Galaxy Note, is also selling like hot cakes with more than 7 million units already shipped.

Samsung has started rolling out a new ‘value pack’ firmware update for the Galaxy S in Korea. The new firmware update includes some new features including Face Unlock, a photo editing app, performance improvements and a slightly tweaked launcher.

Samsung has officially started rolling out the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Galaxy S II. The company also announced that it will be rolling out a Value Pack Android 2.3 Gingerbread firmware update for some of its older devices including the Galaxy S.

Samsung has announced that it won’t be releasing a value pack update for the Galaxy S as well. The company states that the hardware on the phone is not capable to run the new software enhancements smoothly.

A couple of days ago, Samsung announced that it won’t be bringing Android 4.0 ICS to the Galaxy S family. This has outraged quite a lot of Galaxy S owners, and they have started an online petition so that Samsung updates the Galaxy S to Ice Cream Sandwich.
